This time, we've compiled a list of "tricksters"—gods who disrupt the order of world mythology and drive the story forward!

They're incredibly troublesome as enemies, but incredibly powerful as allies.

This channel features a fantasy-loving otaku explaining the myths and legends that form the basis of these stories.
